            Yup....might drop back temporarily....but this is the big one.



            put some on a chinese shipbuilder last week as of a rights issue, 33% up today.

            Most of my recent investments were put in before the new year.

                Bought Barclays at 89p at the back end of January. Currently 280p.

                Hell of a 'dead cat bounce'.

                That gives them a Market Cap of about £25bn against annual profits of £6bn. You need to look at the numbers not the hysteria generated by the media (pig flu anyone?)

                    Yeh, I sold out at average 250 after watching my investment go down 66%, then up 66% (250% from bottom) in about 3 weeks. Might have been too quick, dunno. Actually I'd bought it for long-term but the price movements are too wild for me.

                      I think maybe the stock market is ready for a correction. But I think we've seen the bottom. That was where financial institutions, hedge funds were forced to sell, simply because they all use loans to fund their investments. Reading the reports, they were gnashing their teeth at having to sell at such low prices. This was the thing that always puzzled me, why do stock market prices go so low, when they always rebound fairly quickly even in 1929. The answer is, the crash always coincides with some credit crunch forcing investors to sell. So yes things will bob up and down, but that forced selling won't reoccur

                      Hedge funds and banks almost invariably screw the little investors, but last year they had their pants down. When I was buying, I reckon a lot of those shares came from distressed hedge funds.
